This stunning 360 degree panorama of the night sky was stitched together from 37,000 images by a first-time astrophotographer.
I was gonna blog about that awesome record-setting, super-sized panoramic sky photo going around ourdashboards today, but I had this nagging sense of deja vu. And sure enough, I found it in my archives from 10 months ago.
But seriously, go enjoy it again. It’s so fantastic and informative. The guy quit his job, traveled 60,000 miles and he had never done anything like this before.

I’ve been volunteering on the lighthouse tender Lilac, and it’s a lovely thing. Check out the Lilac Preservation Project, and come down sometime on Thursdays or Saturdays.
one has to be careful about stories. especially true ones. when a story is told the first time, it can find a place in the listener’s heart. if the same story is told over and over, it becomes less like a presence in that chest and more like an x-ray of it.
